Four locations in perfect cross-quarter formation around the world are naturally manifesting the characteristics of the 4 Classical Elements of ALCHEMY. The goal of Project ALTER MAN 47 (AM47) is to film the voyage of an alt-fuel ship that will circumnavigate the globe to connect all four of these points, one every three months, over the course of a year and in so doing help raise the spiritual Awareness of mankind. The timing of the voyage is set to the ancient Egyptian/sidereal zodiacal year. Departing from the Point of FIRE in San Francisco, to the Point of WATER off the coast of Japan, to the Point of AIR in Turkmenistan, to the Point of EARTH in the Azores, and back to the Point of FIRE in San Francisco to complete the circle.

When the Sun aligns with the direct center or “Angel Point” of sidereal Taurus, the Point of Elemental EARTH (PoEE) can be expected to manifest in the remote volcanic island archipelago of the Azores, the highest mountaintops in the Atlantic Ocean. The next PoEE is on 30 May 2012 (and then again on 29 May 2013, etc.). The AM47 ship was scheduled to have sailed from the Point of AIR in Turkmenistan (just north of Iran) and arrive in the Azores by late-May 2012. The AM47 ship was then to navigate to 37.47 N, -32.28 W for the PoEE on 30 May 2012, for the PoEE. This point lies just west of the islands of Corvo and Terciera, the sites of recently discovered ancient hypogea (underground tombs) and underground temples dedicated to the Phoenecian lunar goddess Tanit! The Azores are considered by many to possibly be the mountaintops/capitol of the legendary lost civilization/continent of Atlantis. There, the crew of the AM47 was/is to generate, observe, dedicate and send Elemental EARTH into Awareness.

The AM47 ship was then to continue its circumnavigation of the globe back to the Point of FIRE in San Francisco. After a successfully documented and magically transformative journey around the world, the ship was to again set sail north in late-Sep 2012 for Alert, Nunavut , the northernmost inhabited city on the planet near the North Pole, for the Point of Elemental AETHER and the Gateway of Arcturus on 17 Oct 2012 (and then again on 16 Oct 2013, etc.), thus completing The Pentaform: A Psycho-Cosmic Pyramid Crowning Gaia. Although funding for the journey was not secured for a 2012 attempt, the cycle begins anew each year and Project AM47 will try again for a scheduled departure no later than 17 Oct 2013 (or 16 Oct 2014, etc.) from San Francisco’s FIRE to the WATER of the Japan Trench.

EARTHy facts about the Azores. Here is a chronological history of all the potent information, news and events from this location, most of which have obviously uncanny Elemental connotations:

1. (Ancient) The Azores are considered by many to possibly be the mountaintops of the legendary “lost civilization/continent” of Atlantis.

The island mountain of Pico, Azores.

2. (Ancient) The Azores are the highest peaks of earth along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

The Mid-Atlantic Ridge

3. (Early C.E.)Pentecostcommemorates the Descent of the Holy Spirit from Heaven upon the Twelve apostles, the Virgin Mary and other followers of Jesus on Earth, and marks the beginning of the Church. During the Descent, while those on whom the Spirit had descended were speaking in tongues, God is heard saying: “And in the last days, I will pour out my spirit upon every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams.”

The present day religious feast of Pentecost (aka. the 50th day) is celebrated seven weeks after Easter Sunday (27 May 2012, etc.). Easter (aka. Jesus Christ’s Resurrection) takes place on the first Sunday following the first full moon following the vernal equinox. In the West, the earliest possible date of Pentecost is May 10 and the latest possible date is June 13. The Sun is currently in sidereal Taurus from May 15 to June 16. The AM47 Point of Elemental EARTH in the Azores (Mid-sidereal Taurus) currently falls on the end of May or the beginning of June, which places it squarely in the middle of the date-range of Pentecost! This year the AM47 PoEE falls on 30 May 2012.

The Cult of the Holy Spiritis a religious sub-culture developed in the Azores, inspired by Christian millenarian mystics. The worship of the Holy Spirit (aka. IHVH: Fire, Water, Air, Earth) is it’s central doctrine. According to a prophecy, a “third age” would be governed by the Holy Spirit and would represent a monastic governance in which the hierarchy of the Church would be unnecessary and infidels would unite with Christians. These theories became associated with the Franciscan Order and feared by the hierarchy of the Church, which is falling right now :) The Cult of the Holy Spirit is not dependent on the formal organization of the Church, nor are the clergy needed to participate in the practices; there are no intermediaries between the devotees and the Divine.

There are many festivals in the Azores. The most common festival is the Holy Ghost Festival or ‘Festa do Divino Espirito Santo’ which is held on Pentecost. This festival celebrates the “third person of the Godhead” and is a day for some lucky poor person (usually a child) to be named Empress or Emperor for a day. The new royalty is crowned and adorned in silver and escorted through the streets with a cow (Taurus!) decorated with colourful paper flowers, to the local church where a Mass is said. The celebrants then move the Procession to the local fellowship hall where the silver adornments are moved to the Altar. Then a special meal of Holy Ghost Soup or ‘Sopas do Espirito Santo’ is distributed to all in need. The Soup is made from ritually prepared beef cattle (Taurus!) specifically killed for the event. Holy Ghost Soup is traditionally prepared in large bowls set in volcanically active craters. Festivities commence with a uniquely Azorean Bullfight (Taurus!) with ropes instead of swords :)

According to legend, King Arthur always gathered all his knights at the round table for a feast and a quest on Pentecost: “So ever the king had a custom that at the feast of Pentecost in especial, afore other feasts in the year, he would not go that day to meat until he had heard or seen of a great marvel.”

Goethe declared Pentecost “das liebliche Fest” – the lovely Feast. He spoke of Pentecost as a time of greening and blooming in fields, woods, hills, mountains, bushes and hedges, of birds singing new songs, meadows sprouting fragrant flowers, and of festive sunshine gleaming from the skies and coloring the earth.

4. (1424) My obsession with cartography (and astrocartography!) might be linked to my Great, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, G, Grandfather Clausson (as in Santa Claus.?. ;) who is considered the first cartographer of America in 1424. He used runic poetry and Norse Myth in naming the points on his voyages to Greenland and “America”. His death remains a mystery but speculations are that he was murdered in Rome for his knowledge of geography and of ‘three large volumes which contained the “Ten Decades” of Livy’.?. Anyway, the center point of his explorations are also on the exact longitude of the AM47 Point of EARTH.

The Vinland Map of @1440. Grandfather Clausson’s map is lost to history but verification of his discovery of “America” persists in the literature of the age.

5. (Mid 20th Century) The various tales of “the earth coming out of the sea”. The volcanic creation of new land and new islands in the Azores. And the sinking of others.

Base surge and eruptive column at Calelinhos in the Azores.

6. (early 2007) I dreamed about these islands in 2007 before I knew anything about them. You can read about my visionary dream here: Delta & Dawn Dream.
>>>(03 Mar 2011. How on earth did I not see this before? I was just going back over a timeline of events and made a striking realization about the date of the appearance of the whales Delta & Dawn and my visionary dream which was on @ 30 May 2007… IT IS almost the exact same day that I would soon discover to be the AM47 Point of Elemental EARTH!! The odds are astronomical and when tied in with the rest of the Synchronicity inherent in AM47… simply incalculable.)

The Capitol of Atlantis? I want to believe.

7. (Mid 2008) An international team of scientists converged on the Azores in 2008 to form a revolutionaryjoint mission instituteto study global warming, oceanic management and earth changes.

The School for Marine Science and Technology

8. (Late 2008) The Azores were the first stop for theEarthracevessel on its alt-fuel race around the globe in 2008. Earthrace also happens to have had basically the same circumnavigatory route that AM47 will.

The Earthrace vessel in 2008 while on it’s record breaking alternative fuel race around the world.

The Earthrace vessel just before it sank in 2010, after being rammed by a Japanese whaling ship.

9. (01 Jun 2009)Air France Flight 447disintegrated due to unknown circumstances over the Atlantic Ocean today, killing all 228 people on board. 31 May – 01 Jun 2009 was to be the peak day (the day when the Sun was directly in line with the center of sidereal Taurus) of my proposed Elemental Earth ceremony part of AM47, after our ship was to have finally reached the Azores archipelago. On 01 Jun 2009, AF Flight 447 disintegrated directly over the equator and directly longitudinally in line with The Point of Earth in the Azores. I had written about the ‘grid-lines’ extending out along the longitude and latitude of all 5 Elemental Points. The plane was flying west to east, which is in the opposite direction of the proposed course of AM47. On 01 Jun 2009 I was made certain that my quest had flown in the face of a chaotic and uncaring, even adversarial universe, winking its cruel spark of awareness from within an essentially negligent infinite span. :/

The Air France flight 447 tragedy… in line with AM47 by 47 significator, longitudinal location, and date of occurrence. (2 = coincidence, 3 = SYNCHRONICITY)

10. (23 May 2010) The LOST television series came to a close today, just 8 days before the AM47 PoEE in the Azores. In this final episode, on a time-travelling/teleporting/reality-altering island, the hero plugged a hole in the “Heart of the Island”. It sure looked like a Point of Elemental Earth if ever one did see one. Also, a few weeks earlier when the origin of the character of Richard was revealed, a 15th Century era Richard was a prisoner on a ship that was shipwrecked on an island which had the last known location of the Azores!!

The Point of Elemental Earth, LOST style.

11. (28 Oct 2010) Azorean Atlantis Videos:

12. (02 Apr 2011)Satellite Imagery Shows Gravity Is Strongest From Iceland – Azores The next AM47 Point of Elemental Earth in the Azores is coming-up on 01 Jun 2011, and the Azores are gettin’ heavy… the heaviest place on EARTH!! “According to new images transmitted by the European Space Agency’s satellite GOCE, gravity is the strongest in two areas on the planet: In a fairly large area in the Atlantic Ocean which stretches from the north of Iceland and all the way south to the Azores, and in an area north of Australia from the Philippines and eastwards to the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific.”

This tortured globe – created using data from the GOCE gravity-mapping satellite – reveals what the Earth would look like if its shape were altered to make gravity the same everywhere on its surface. Areas of strongest gravity are in yellow and weakest in blue. Click on the image to view.

13. (31 May 2011) The AM47 P.o.E. Earth day is tomorrow! There are some fascinating Earthy developments in the Azores: the fact that gravity has been discovered to be highest in the Azores, the discovery of ancient burial sites atop the islands, the Azores being a model for modern alternative energy use, and the recovery of the tragic AF447 black-boxes after 2 years of searching. Read more about those developments HERE.

Last night I deamt that a massive, magnificent young blue-black colored bull was being jerked down a bleak, dusty road by a nasty little man in a nasty little truck. Though the bull could have easily smashed the truck and crushed the man inside, the young bull was nevertheless somehow defeated. As the bull passed me the truck lurched, and he managed to display a faintly defiant little buck and gallop as if to pretend that it was all a game. A slaughterhouse monstrosity’s droning grind wavered up from down the road.

Tomorrow is the AM47 PoEE in the Azores; the sun will cross the direct center of sidereal Taurus and the new moon too will align with Aldebaran, The Eye of the Bull. Please don’t waste this time by not recognizing it for what it really is.

Atlantis

14. (14 Jul 2011)Ancient Temples Discovered On Azorean Islands In late 2006, I started writing this here tale involving the Azores as possibly being the mountain-tops of legendary Atlantis. In late 2010, archaeoastronomer Nuno Ribiero discovered ancient hypogea (underground tombs) and underground temples dedicated to the Phoenecian lunar goddess Tanit on the remote Atlantic islands of the Azores.

Prior to these discoveries, history had dictated that the Azores had been discovered by the Portuguese in the 14th century. The discovery of these ancient temples proves that the Azores were inhabited by a pre-christian civilization… perhaps even an Atlantean civilization. The discoveries are currently developing as of now (mid-2011).

In the Mediterranean, Tanit’s main familiar was the dolphin (or the cetacean/whale). Lunar and Pyramidaic symbology also dominate the images of Tanit, and her main image appears to be identical to the Ankh. Echoes of possible child sacrifice haunt Tanit’s worship, even in the present Azorean discoveries.

The Ankh-like Phoenician lunar goddess Tanit with her cetacean familiar.

I dreamed of morphing whales and strange underwater-hunters in mid-2007. The exact time that I had this dream actually occurred on the day of what would later become the Point of Elemental Earth day. My dream involved a child miraculously escaping sacrifice on an altar and the diabolical shaman-priests who’d pursued him. Then in my dream, a cluster of folks were cooking a strange stew in the hot-earth… I later learned that “Holy Spirit Soup” is a delicacy in the Azores. My dream then involved an underground cave with a whale-like creature, and other things that can only be described here: Delta & Dawn Dream

I also discovered after the fact, that bulls (the bovine/Taurus, fixed EARTH) play a huge part in the Portuguese culture on the Azores… Point of Elemental Earth indeed.

Archaeologists from the Portuguese Association of Archeological Research (APIA) believe to have found in the Azores a significant number of Carthaginian temples, from the fourth century BC, dedicated to the goddess Tanit.

15. (07 Apr 2012) A “Travel to the Azores” competition I entered and lost because my entry was too long:

A Voyage Around The World To The Azores

Five years ago, I had a visionary dream involving islands I’d never seen before. I soon came to discover that those islands were in fact the Azores, and since that time it has been my passion to sail there from here in San Francisco. I’ve been planning to fund the voyage by making it a part of a film inspired by my dream and all the fascinating esoteric subjects that my ensuing research has come to encompass as a result of it. Unfortunately, the extraordinary nature and scale of the project has made funding it a real challenge. So when I learned from Azores Nation of the chance to win this trip, I knew I had to enter.

There are so many things I want to experience in the Azores and document for my story. I want to search for the locations I saw in my dream, to see if they really exist: the stone slab on the hill by the coast, the cooking hearth in the steamy volcanic rock, and the dark flooded underground cavern. There has been a recent controversial discovery of possibly ancient Phoenician tombs and temples on the islands of Terceira and Corvo, and I’d like to begin my search there. And I want to enjoy some Sopas do Espirito Santo, traditionally prepared in the volcanically active earth. I want to explore the underground caverns hidden all over the islands. I want to scuba dive among the dolphins and whales. I want to immerse myself in the therapeutic waters of the Valley of Furnas to help relieve my chronic bronchitis. And of course I want to collect local tales of seafaring adventures and lost Atlantis!

I still hope to sail to the Azores one day, and I haven’t abandoned my dream. Winning this trip would be a great opportunity to progress my tale, scout out my future voyage, and take me one step closer to making my project a reality. Feel free to read much more about my dream and this project at AlterMan47 and specifically how it involves the Azores here at AlterMan47/Azores.

17. (22 May 2012) Don’t Drown Out Dolphin’s Voices by drilling for oil in the mid-Atlantic near the Azores! The loud noises can make communication impossible, cutting these social animals off from their families. When faced with this noise, endangered whales stop singing for mates and dolphin mothers can no longer whistle at their babies. Dolphins and whales might beach themselves to get away, or, if they’re too close, they could suffer hearing loss or other injuries. Stop it.

Oil drilling causes insanity and death in dolphins and whales. Stop it.

18. (30 May 2012, 14:47 PST) Today is the AM47 Point of Elemental EARTH in Sidereal Taurus. Six of the seven Inner Planets are in Sidereal EARTH signs!! Four are in Sidereal Taurus (EARTH)! Mars is in mid Sidereal Leo (FIRE), and is the only Inner Planet not in an EARTH sign. Sidereal Taurus just set over the Azores as the Sun reached the center or “Angel Point” of Sidereal Taurus.

AM47 PoEE Azores, 2012

19. (27 Aug 2012) The latest update about the mysterious traces of prehistoric culture found in the Azores. “We have found a rock art site with representations we believe can be dated back to the Bronze Age. We have an epigraph from Roman times, according to two scientists who were invited to interpret the inscription, a cave art site, megalithic structures, and an important set of structures scattered throughout the islands that need to be interpreted in new ways. In some cases, we believe that there are temples and hypogea. We have no doubt that there are sanctuaries and we believe a significant number of fourth century BC Carthaginian temples. We think the temples were dedicated to the ancient Lunar goddess Tanit. The investigation in the Azores can be said to have not yet begun.” ~ Archeaoastronomer Nuno Ribero

22. The giant undersea pyramid in the Azores has turned out to be a natural formation, or so reports the US Military as they have a base in the Azores. I’m beyond consolation… just heartbroken. Between this and the Fukushima disaster spewing radiation at the Point of Water, I just feel like giving up. Guess I should contact Nuno Ribeiro for a second opinion. broken

25. (29 MAY 2014) Astrophotographer Captures Spectacular Milky Way Vista from the Azores:

Visible from left to right are the Cygnus (Swan) constellation, with its North America nebula (NGC7000) clearly visible below the star Deneb. Down to the right, is the constellation Aquila. Sagittarius is covered by the cloud. Near the right side is Scorpius and its super giant star, Antares. The planet Saturn, meanwhile, is visible along the right edge of the image, in the constellation Libra.

26. (31 MAY 2014) Today is mid-Sidereal Taurus and AM47 should be in the Azores right now. But the world just isn’t ready for it… The world isn’t ready and the world can’t wait: The Impossible Dream. Maybe next year.

The circle represents God, the original unity, from which arises the trinity or triangle and then the square, God’s manifestation in the material universe.

“What you are about to read is the groundwork for an evolution in broadcast and feature infotainment. Alter Man is the working title for a visionary media project so original and evocative it could be described as The Amazing Race meets Nova and Myth Busters. In fact, an apt subtitle for the “Reality” segment of Alter Man would be MYTH HUNTERS. As intriguing as this concept is, the projects “pseudo-documentary” & multi-medium elements are even more innovative. Utilizing free-role-play of open scripted scenarios inspired by a true life voyage of discovery, Alter Man promises to produce episodic metafiction with an X-Files meets Jacques Cousteau explosive potential.”

Antithetical Spark And Dream

It was mid-late 2006 when I was struggling to understand what my next creative move should be. I was considering Burning Man, yet how I would probably never venture out to it’s dusty desert location due to my chronic bronchitis. This project actually grew out of my desire to bring the culture and spectacle of Burning Man into places where I could enjoy it as well.

Sperm whales at a dream-in in the Azores Archipelago.

In mid-late May 2007, two injured female humpback whales, a mother and calf that became known as Delta & Dawn got “lost” in the San Francisco Bay. They spent 2 weeks roaming the bay in distress. Right about the time that they finally and inexplicably decided to swim back down river toward the sea and vanish (the date of this event would also prove to be highly significant, see below* ), I had this ultra-vivid Visionary Dream that I now suspect was somehow influenced or even induced by these whales. The dream felt more like what I imagine a “vision” would, as opposed to what I understand a lucid dream to be. Astonishingly, key elements of this dream surface in my ongoing research and development of producing the future voyage: ALTER MaN 4 7.

A reconstruction of the main island of Plato’s Atlantis by raising the contoured sea-bed/lowering the sea-level around the islands of the Azores.

Four locations in perfect cross-quarter formation around the world are naturally manifesting the characteristics of the 4 Classical Elements of ALCHEMY. The goal of Project ALTER MAN 47 (AM47) is to film the voyage of an alt-fuel ship that will circumnavigate the globe to connect all four of these points, one every three months, over the course of a year and in so doing help raise the spiritual Awareness of mankind. The timing of the voyage is set to the ancient Egyptian/sidereal zodiacal year. Departing from the Point of FIRE in San Francisco, to the Point of WATER off the coast of Japan, to the Point of AIR in Turkmenistan, to the Point of EARTH in the Azores, and back to the Point of FIRE in San Francisco to complete the circle.

When the Sun aligns with the direct center or “Angel Point” of sidereal Taurus, the Point of Elemental EARTH (PoEE) can be expected to manifest in the remote volcanic island archipelago of the Azores, the highest mountaintops in the Atlantic Ocean. The next PoEE is on 30 May 2012 (and then again on 29 May 2013, etc.). The AM47 ship was scheduled to have sailed from the Point of AIR in Turkmenistan (just north of Iran) and arrive in the Azores by late-May 2012. The AM47 ship was then to navigate to 37.47 N, -32.28 W for the PoEE on 30 May 2012, for the PoEE. This point lies just west of the islands of Corvo and Terciera, the sites of recently discovered ancient hypogea (underground tombs) and underground temples dedicated to the Phoenecian lunar goddess Tanit! The Azores are considered by many to possibly be the mountaintops/capitol of the legendary lost civilization/continent of Atlantis. There, the crew of the AM47 was/is to generate, observe, dedicate and send Elemental EARTH into Awareness.

(02 Jun 2013) The ALTER MAN 47 Alchemical Point of Elemental EARTH is in the Azores. The Azores is the 4th prime destination to be reached on the AM47 voyage around the globe before returning back to the start in San Francisco to complete the circle. The AM47 ship The Mantra, is scheduled to reach the Azores by 30 May 2014, mid-Sidereal Taurus (15 May – 16 June, fixed Earth element). Although The Mantra didn’t acquire the funds to make the voyage this year, these are the developments in the Azores during the AM47 Point of EARTH 2013. A complete history of this fascinating location and how it relates to the larger framework of Project AM47 is here: AM47 Point of Elemental EARTH.

In the AZORES during the first half of Sidereal Taurus, 2013 (Sidereal Taurus is 15 May – 16 June) :

(20 May 2013) China’s Influence Spreads to Atlantic. “The whole psychodrama unfolded at the end of June 2012, when then Chinese premier Wen Jiabao made a stopover on the Portuguese island of Terceira, in the Azores, after a four-nation visit to South America. The Azores are placed right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between Europe and the United States. Wen’s blitz there fueled speculation that China had thrown an eye on Lajes Field, the local US military air base jointly managed by Portugal and the United States, which is on the table for military budget cuts. By virtue of Lajes Air Field, Washington can control and patrol a vast portion of the Atlantic space. If Beijing were able to get its hands on this strategic outpost, it could disrupt air and sea traffic between Europe and North America, deny maritime access to the Mediterranean Sea and even threaten the US eastern coast. China’s potential ability to operate in the central Atlantic is directly connected with its drive for a prominent role in the seas around the North Pole.”

(27 May 2013) Whale watching in The Azores. #1 for Whale Watching. “The Azores are currently one of the world’s largest whale sanctuaries. More than 20 different types of cetaceans can be spotted in the Azores and it corresponds to a third of the total number of existing species. The waters of The Azores have an ecosystem with unique characteristics and the whales and dolphins mean that the blue Atlantic Ocean becomes even more magic around these nine islands.”

(30 May 2013) The Sea Inside by Philip Hoare – review. Great book about Azores/Whales. “It is a collage of memoir, cultural history and travelogue in which the author makes pilgrimage to ever more distant seas to swim with whales and dolphins. These encounters yield some of the most vivid writing in the book, charged with the same awe and joy that characterised Hoare’s retelling in the last chapter of Leviathan of a close encounter with a sperm whale near the Azores.”

(19 Jun 2013) Azores Fringe Festival. Just, WOW! A Fringe Festival (alternative/sustainable music, art and culture) in the Azores (part of a global “Fringe” network!) is taking place on June 19th in the Azores, just 19 days after my proposed AM47 Elemental EARTH Ceremony!!!! Not too shabby, eh? Plus there’s a reference to “1947” but it’s in Portuguese and I haven’t translated it yet! Still though, Pretty Fucken Stoked! I’m contacting them now about adjusting the event date to coincide with the arrival of The Mantra this time next year!!! WILD WISHING.

… I guess we’ll be camping out a bit longer than we’d planned.

In Outer Space during the first half of Sidereal Taurus, 2013 (Sidereal Taurus is 15 May – 16 June) :

(17 May 2013 /17 Mar 2013) Watch the Biggest Explosion Ever Seen on the Moon. The Moon was hit by an asteroid while it was in Sidereal Taurus on 17 Mar 2013! This article appeared on 17 May 2013, the 2nd day of Sidereal Taurus, just like the first relevant article about the Azores above. Fascinating! This article was among the first of many to show the NASA video.

(27 May 2013) ‘Tsunami Watch’ For Atlantic Ocean Until June 5th: Dr. Simon Atkins & The Advanced Forecasting Corporation. “Did you know that heightened solar activity can lead to earthquakes and tsunamis on Earth? Did you know that the North Atlantic Ocean region (Azores!), which would include all of the East coast of North America, is under a ‘tsunami watch’ until June 5th, 2013 according to Dr. Simon Atkins? Fascinating video from Fox News and videographer Mr2Tuff2 with lots more information below from Dr. Atkins and his Advanced Forecasting Corporation’s first ever tsunami watch, in effect until June 5th, 2013 that could be extended depending upon solar activity.”

(30 May 2013) Comet ISON Is Hurtling Toward Uncertain Destiny With Sun. Amongst all these other looming space news stories comes this one about the approaching Comet ISON with spectacular new images of it… And it may well be “The Blue Star” of Hopi Prophecy. Interestingly, Comet ISON will be at it’s closest and brightest DIRECTLY ON the AM47 Point of Elemental WATER in late November – early December 2013 (mid-Sidereal Scorpio)! I can think of few greater dreams come true than sailing around the world on The Mantra under a night sky populated with a blued comet (electrical!) as bright as the moon!! But time is running out and the deadline approaches to manifest AM47 this year in 5.5 months at the most. So how are YOU going to help make this dream come true?

(01 Jun 2013) 88% chance of Atlantic Tsunami Event – Update from Climate Risk Scientist Doctor Simon Atkins. “Within the same risk window through June 5, 2013, I am raising the threat of a North Atlantic tsunami to 88% due to the following reasons under our Electromagnetic Planetary Advisement Threats [EPATS] : 1) An interplanetary and expanding shock wave has hit Earth’s magnetic field late May 31st (AM47 Point of EARTH!!). This is likely the first of a few in the next 72 hours, each probably coming with higher cumulative force, since the amount of solar energy entering the Earth will be much more than the energy able to leave Earth, thereby necessitating a much greater risk for a large ‘release’ in the general form of a large earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami, or even all three. 2) Earthquake activity in the North Atlantic has become unusually high, increasing in strength and even ‘coordinated’ within our North Atlantic Tectonic Risk Triangle (St. Louis MO USA to eastern Iceland to the Canary Islands, and the Azores directly in the middle)!!!”

(31 May 2013) Encountering Peace: Our window of opportunity, “On 31 May 2013, US Secretary of State John Kerry put it straight: there is a short window of opportunity to make peace with the Palestinians and most of the Arab world.” 31 May 2013 was of course the AM47 Point of Alchemical EARTH day, mid-Sidereal Taurus. Sidereal Taurus is a decidedly Venusian sign dealing in peace, love, beauty, art and comfort. 31 May 2013 was the “Angel Point” of Sidereal Taurus and the AM47 Point of EARTH.

(31 may 2013) Protest Group Gives Turkish Official a List of Demands.The “Turkish Spring” began on 31 May 2013. It all began when one of the last parks (EARTH) in Istanbul was slated to be paved over, and the people rose up. The conflict has evolved into a much larger issue of political activism. 31 May 2013 is the center or “Angel Point” of Sidereal Taurus (EARTH) and the AM47 Point of Alchemical EARTH. The latitude of the AM47 voyage runs directly through the middle of Turkey and virtually EVERY other power center of this modern age!

**** *******

Even now my heart /
Journeys beyond its confines, and my thoughts /
Over the sea, across the whale’s domain /
Travel afar the regions of the earth …

Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi broadcasting pure magic from their ship of serpents.

(30 May 2013) Today I decided that the Project ALTER MAN 47 ship needed a proper name. I figured a good place to start was to make an anagram of ALTER MAN: a a e l m n r t

El – the one (Spanish), God (Semitic)
Mantra – a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered capable of “creating transformation” (Sanskrit)

EL MANTRA or just The Mantra. The name of the AM47 ship is The Mantra.

This mantra, the Moola Mantra, evokes the living God, asking protection and freedom from all sorrow and suffering. It is a prayer that adores the great creator and liberator, who out of love and compassion manifests, to protect us, in an earthly form.

Uhh, okay. Well that was easy! And of course a perfect fit. Not only is it precise, but also multi-cultural and perfectly aligned with the Intent of Project AM47. The Mantra will be equipped with a highly advanced sound system with a wide range of vibrational capabilities including Cetacean interaction, meditational attuning of the crew and broadcast sonics with a variety of wonderful and strange applications.

Concept yacht of a voyaging island. Although The Mantra will look nothing like this polished dreamboat, it does have obvious Elemental aspects: FIRE = volcanic tip, WATER = waterfall pool, AIR = central thoroughfare, EARTH = volcanic base. Magic!

The Sound of God.

The main eruption on Iceland in 2010 which subsided during the AM47 Point of Elemental EARTH.

Beginning on 14 April 2010, volcanic eruptions in Iceland created an ash cloud that led to the closure of most of the European IFR airspace. By 31 May 2010, the main eruption phase had subsided to the point that no further lava or ash was being produced.

Aurora Borealis meets the coagulant blood of the earth in Iceland @ the time of the AM47 Point of Elemental EARTH, 2010.

On the Azorean isle of Graciosa: Furna do Enxofre, Sulfur Cave, a massive lavic cave with a lake inside it. I dreamt of this actual cave BEFORE I ever consciously knew of it’s existence!!

Human activity in the North Atlantic region was essentially brought to a halt for 6 weeks. It was as though the Earth itself had quieted after saying it’s peace. But has humankind actually heard this peace or any other of the multitude of signs and portents relating to The Alchemical Great Work of ALTER MAN 47.?.

Atmo-volcanic lightning activity during the 2010 Icelandic eruption.

The upcoming AM47 Alchemical Point of Elemental EARTH is on 31 May 2013 in the Azores. As a guardian of nature and temporary nemesis of humankind, a big part of me would love to see massive seismic/volcanic activity spawn from the region around the Azores, Iceland and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to enact some measure of natural retribution on the world, esp. the British & American Empires: bookends of the Atlantic Ocean.

Pico Island is an island in the Central Group of the Portuguese Azorean archipelago noted for its eponymous volcano, Ponta do Pico, which is the highest mountain/elevation of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Dormant.?.

Humankind is moving ABYSMALLY SLOW and is completely and deliberately! manipulated out-of-phase with it’s potential destiny, which makes the urge to do bad against the nebulous perpetrators (ergo, the masses) almost overwhelming. It’s been done many times before within the portentous framework of Project AM47. The epicenter of the earthquake/tsunami that led to the continuing tragedy of the Fukushima disaster was centered DIRECTLY ON The AM47 Alchemical Point of Elemental WATER off the eastern coast of northern Japan. Shall humankind remain so ignorant and cowed as to require these structurally unparallelled punitive measures.?… I challenge humankind to convince me otherwise before oblivion is the sole option.
